Ernest Adams appointed a Visiting Fellow at the University of Teesside.

I am extremely proud to announce that, thanks to the support of Dr. Clive Fencott, I've been appointed a Visiting Fellow to the School of Computing at the University of Teesside, in Middlesbrough, England. The school is well-respected for its excellence in computing and mathematics, and it is actively promoting close cooperation with the game industry -- this is no ivory tower! In addition to the school's technical credentials, there is also a strong interest in the aesthetic and narrative aspects of the interactive medium, which is one of the reasons that it appealed to me.
